I've got a similar error. Mine says ".../index.3/spelling.baseA" instead.
I do have a /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/index.2/ folder, but no .../index.3/ folder. An "ls -l /var/cache/" says: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-10-09 07:42 apt-xapian-index which means the process needs to be run by root. As far as I know that would be the case so I'm not too sure why a mkdir() would fail here. Just in case I tried to run the script manually and go no output what so ever: root@my-server:~# /etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index root@my-server:~# Not only that, the index.3 folder was not created. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629112 Title: update-apt-xapian-index crashed with DatabaseError in buildIndex() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-xapian-index/+bug/629112/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
